5th Grade Math Review: Day 12

In yesterday's post we reviewed spent quite a bit of time on the coordinate plane. If you missed the live stream with the answers, you can watch it here. Today we finish the entire 12-day review with a quick look at Reporting Category 4 - Data Analysis and Personal Financial Literacy. Remember that on Day 8 of the review we look at Personal Financial Literacy - Taxes.

Creating Dot Plots and Stem-and-Leaf Plots

Solving Data Problems

Whereas the previous section simply looked at representing the same data set with two different representations, now students are asked to solve simple problems by using what they know about dot plots, bar graphs, and stem-and-leaf plots. Here's a video to help you out.

Here's a practice problem that you can use to test your skill.

Students have been learning about bar graphs since the 1st grade. Here's a problem involving a bar graph from a released STAAR test. On the test, it was a griddable item, which meant that students had to bubble in their answer rather than choosing from four answer choices.
